Alaska: Part One
For the beginning of our trip, we started in Alaska for four of the eight parks there. Sorry it took so long to post, we didn't have much internet. We will try to keep up more in the future. Continue reading to find out what we did!
The Cruise
We were on the boat from June 26th to July 3rd. Our boat was called the Noordam. We arrived and explored the boat before eating a second lunch. Next, we unpacked our luggage and made ourselves at home. We had a fancy dinner at an on-board restaurant called Canaletto. It is an Italian restaurant. We fed off the delicious food and desert before going to the bow of the boat, which was too windy, so we played a game of basketball and were so full and tired we nearly fell asleep then!! The next day...
Sleeping in the Trailer
As far as sleeping went, I really enjoyed it! Papa was in his sleeping bag so I guess we should call it a "Testing the Mattress" night. But, we were all happy the next day.

Then, when it got to Washington my papa went to see it himself. But.... we videoed him and we were all exited! Finally, on the 23rd of April we got to see it in person! The bike racks were not on yet so only yesterday did it come home. Inside there is a closet big enough for mama and a pillow to fit in. That will be handy!...
